Psalm 77
Easy-to-Read Version
To the director, Jeduthun.[a] One of Asaph’s songs.
77 I cry out to God for help.
    I cry out to you, God; listen to me!
2 My Lord, in my time of trouble I came to you.
    I reached out for you all night long.
    My soul refused to be comforted.
3 I thought about you, God,
    and tried to tell you how I felt, but I could not.
4 You would not let me sleep.
    I tried to say something, but I was too upset.
5 I kept thinking about the past,
    about things that happened long ago.
6 During the night, I thought about my songs.
    I talked to myself, trying to understand what is happening.
7 I wondered, “Has our Lord rejected us forever?
    Will he ever accept us again?
8 Is his love gone forever?
    Will he never again speak to us?
9 Has God forgotten what mercy is?
    Has his compassion changed to anger?” Selah
10 Then I said to myself, “What bothers me most is the thought
    that God Most High has lost his power.”
11 Lord, I remember what you have done.
    I remember the amazing things you did long ago.
12 I think about those things.
    I think about them all the time.
13 God, all that you do is holy.
    No god is as great as you are.
14 You are the God who does amazing things.
    You showed the nations your great power.
15 By your power you saved your people,
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16 God, the water saw you and became afraid.
    The deep water shook with fear.
17 The thick clouds dropped their water.
    Thunder roared in the sky above.
    Your arrows of lightning flashed through the clouds.
18 There were loud claps of thunder.
    Lightning lit up the world.
    The earth shook and trembled.
19 You walked through the water and crossed the deep sea,
    but you left no footprints.
20 You led your people like sheep,
    using Moses and Aaron to guide them.

Psalm 77
New International Version
Psalm 77[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1 I cried out to God(A) for help;
    I cried out to God to hear me.
2 When I was in distress,(B) I sought the Lord;
    at night(C) I stretched out untiring hands,(D)
    and I would not be comforted.(E)
3 I remembered(F) you, God, and I groaned;(G)
    I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[b](H)
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
    I was too troubled to speak.(I)
5 I thought about the former days,(J)
    the years of long ago;
6 I remembered my songs in the night.
    My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 “Will the Lord reject forever?(K)
    Will he never show his favor(L) again?
8 Has his unfailing love(M) vanished forever?
    Has his promise(N) failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?(O)
    Has he in anger withheld his compassion?(P)”
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
    the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.(Q)
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will remember your miracles(R) of long ago.
12 I will consider(S) all your works
    and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”(T)
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
    What god is as great as our God?(U)
14 You are the God who performs miracles;(V)
    you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,(W)
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 The waters(X) saw you, God,
    the waters saw you and writhed;(Y)
    the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured down water,(Z)
    the heavens resounded with thunder;(AA)
    your arrows(AB) flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,(AC)
    your lightning(AD) lit up the world;
    the earth trembled and quaked.(AE)
19 Your path(AF) led through the sea,(AG)
    your way through the mighty waters,
    though your footprints were not seen.

Mga Awit 77
Ang Biblia (1978)
Sa Pangulong Manunugtog; ayon sa paraan ni Jeduthun. Awit ni Asaph.
77 Ako'y dadaing ng aking tinig sa Dios;
Sa Dios ng aking tinig; at kaniyang didinggin ako.
2 (A)Sa kaarawan ng aking kabagabagan ay hinahanap ko ang Panginoon:
Ang kamay ko'y nakaunat sa gabi, at hindi nangangalay;
(B)Tumatangging maaliw ang kaluluwa ko.
3 Naaalaala ko ang Dios, at ako'y nababalisa:
Ako'y (C)nagdaramdam, at ang diwa ko'y nanglulupaypay. (Selah)
4 Iyong pinupuyat ang mga mata ko:
Ako'y totoong nababagabag na hindi ako makapagsalita.
5 (D)Aking ginunita ang mga araw ng una,
Ang mga taon ng dating mga panahon.
6 Aking inaalaala ang awit ko (E)sa gabi:
Sumasangguni ako sa aking sariling puso;
At ang diwa ko'y masikap na nagsiyasat.
7 (F)Magtatakuwil ba ang Panginoon magpakailan man?
At (G)hindi na baga siya lilingap pa?
8 Ang kaniya bang kagandahangloob ay lubos na nawala magpakailan man?
Natapos na bang walang hanggan (H)ang kaniyang pangako?
9 Nakalimot na ba ang Dios na (I)magmaawain?
Kaniya bang tinakpan ng kagalitan ang kaniyang malumanay na mga kaawaan? (Selah)
10 At aking sinabi, (J)Ito ang sakit ko;
Nguni't aalalahanin ko ang mga taon ng kanan ng Kataastaasan.
11 (K)Babanggitin ko ang mga gawa ng Panginoon;
Sapagka't aalalahanin ko ang mga kabagabagan mo ng una.
12 Bubulayin ko ang lahat ng iyong gawa,
At magmumuni tungkol sa iyong mga gawa.
13 Ang iyong daan, Oh Dios, ay (L)nasa santuario:
(M)Sino ang dakilang dios na gaya ng Dios?
14 Ikaw ay Dios na gumagawa ng mga kagilagilalas:
Iyong ipinakilala ang kalakasan mo sa gitna ng mga tao.
15 Iyong tinubos (N)ng kamay mo ang iyong bayan,
Ang mga anak ng Jacob (O)at ng Jose. (Selah)
16 (P)Nakita ka ng tubig, Oh Dios;
Nakita ka ng tubig, sila'y nangatakot:
Ang mga kalaliman din naman ay nanginig.
17 Ang mga alapaap ay nangaglagpak ng tubig;
(Q)Ang langit ay humugong:
Ang mga (R)pana mo naman ay nagsihilagpos.
18 Ang (S)tinig ng iyong kulog, ay nasa ipoipo;
Tinanglawan (T)ng mga kidlat ang sanglibutan:
Ang lupa ay nayanig at umuga.
19 Ang daan mo'y (U)nasa dagat,
At ang mga landas mo'y nasa malalawak na tubig,
At ang bakas mo'y hindi nakilala.
20 (V)Iyong pinapatnubayan ang iyong bayan na (W)parang kawan,
Sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Moises at ni Aaron.
